What You Get

Migration services address the technical transformation and the capability gap. You get complete history preservation, modernised workflows, security configuration, and team enablement for GitHub-native development.

Services focus on creating the conditions for better delivery, not just platform changes.

Delivery continuity – Migration paced to minimise disruption whilst teams continue shipping
History preservation – Complete Git transformation maintaining full code history and metadata
Workflow modernisation – Classic pipelines converted to GitHub Actions with modern CI/CD patterns
Capability building – Team enablement integrated throughout, not bolted on at the end
